Missy has been in the habit of waking me in the early morning hours for food. But a couple of times (early hours of this morning for one) she's woken me apparently because she's lonely and wants a bit of petting. :?

But isn't your main purpose in life to be at her beck and call?

Cats... I don't know what to suggest, maybe put food out before bed? I'll keep for hours.

My disturbing trend is Blacky sleeping across my chest. Waking up and wondering what's pressing on your chest really throws you off, she's always slept on my legs.

If you feed her or pet her, she will continue to wake you...she'll have you well trained in no time.

If you want to stop this behavior you need to ignore her...completely...don't even talk to her. Roll over pull the covers up and don't make a peep. Depending on how long this has been going on it could take a few nights to a couple weeks. But it will work.

I have the same problem. Indy goes through the night with little fuss. Ozark has panic attacks or something because he wanders around the apartment with a distressed meow. He only shuts up when I call for him. He'll come running, get on the bed and shut up. I live with it but it drives my boyfriend insane if he stays over. I'd be curious what others recommend.

Maybe he's jealous of the boyfriend. I'd get rid of him first (BF) and see if Ozark improves. LOL, (just teasing), B

I thought that cats did not want humans to sleep. That is why I close my bedroom door

I had to close my bedroom door. Hanx was insatiable, walking all over my and my boyfriend's head, legs, back, chest, meowing in our faces... for hours! He wasn't hungry, just wanted to play. This would be between 5:30-7:30 and my boyfriend would sometimes not get home from work until the wee hours soooo.... Poor kitty. Sometimes I feel bad and sleep on the couch cuddling with him. He doesn't bother me much on the couch for some reason.

That's because "Hanx" want you all to himself! "Boyfriend be damned", he says.
